‘Jello Origami’ Lets You Eat Your Paper Cranes

By Syafiqah Omar, 20 Jan 2012

Fancy an edible lime-flavoured paper crane? Gelatin artists ‘My Jello Americans’ have folded origami out of jello so that you can eat them.

To create jello origami on your own, they’ve also posted a video tutorial offering a step-by-step guide on how to make these edible craft-delights.

A 4:1 ratio of gelatin to water is first mixed together to create a thick mixture.

Next, a thin layer of the mixture is spread onto cookie sheets that have been laid out on a pan.

The gelatin is then placed inside the fridge to harden for a whole day—after which, it will come right off, ready to be cut and folded into various shapes.

Don’t forget your favourite flavorings and colors too!
